Here I am, at the highest weight of 2012. Sigh. I ate too much yesterday - and I knew it even getting out of bed this morning.


That didn't stop me from doing the same thing today, though. I don't know why, but beginning in the afternoon yesterday and today, I developed a huge appetite. Recent readings suggest that there were a few hormones (like ghrelin) out of whack, causing this hunger - but why that is the case, I don't know. And I haven't been effective at fighting it off.


And so, two fails. First a package of orange peanut butter and cracker "sandwiches," then later, a full-blown cheat with a bowl of cereal and berries - a cheat day staple.


It's a good thing tomorrow's a fast day.
